Easy
"He has it sooo easy," my wife Puddin said as she looked at
21-month-old Christian sitting in the chair.
I looked at Christian.
Sure enough, Christian sat in the chair clutching his milk
bottle, staring at us through contented eyes.
When his bottle ran dry, he would be able to get another one or
something else. He never goes hungry for long.
When he gets sleepy, he goes.
When his diaper is full, it is changed.
He is loved.
He has it real easy.
Did I suddenly realize that Christian has it easy?
No.
I told Puddin, "So do we."
Puddin and I sat in our respective chairs.
Both of us were as full of food as Christian.
Actually, we were fuller and had more variety.
We never go hungry for long.
Do you?
Both of us often stay up beyond when we are sleepy.
We are able to go to sleep in a warm bed,
but just like Christian,
we are often up until sleep overtakes us.
Are You?
Both of us are loved,
both by those on earth and a heavenly father.
You are loved by a heavenly father at a bare minimum.
Both of us have clean underwear, and we don't even have to wear
diapers.
You've probably got clean underwear and don't wear diapers either.
Christian often cries or makes a fuss when a trinket is taken
away from him or when something he shouldn't have is forcibly
removed from his grasp.
So do we.
So do we.
We sure have it easy.
